Not sure if I've ever watched this all the way through. At over two hours long it takes its time laying its story out, but still manages to be a pretty breezy watch. Thomas Jane as our title character is pretty great, as is the whole scene with Kevin Nash as The Russian. On the other hand, Travolta plays an odd bad guy as he's never really "bad" other than in one scene, and I'm not sure why cops don't seem to exist in this after the opening sequence. However, there's some nice influences from The Crow series, and if you didn't realize it was 2004 than that post-grunge soundtrack is here to remind you.
